Insurance

[cal]

Hi folks, Thought I might take the opertunity to introduce myself and ask a q athe same time,
Had the bike for about 4yrs now, just given it (almost finished )a bit of a revamp Its a bit of a rat rex at the mo, I bought it off a mate for £150.00 I couln't refuse, I didnt even want a bike at the time, but at £150 what are you gonna do! It needed a few bits, tyres, front wheel, disc and some general fettling so got some bits from ebay put up with the warped disc for a while as it only pulsed really hard if you were going slow! About a year later I got some discs on a front wheel from ebay and put the whole lot on, along with a caliper spruce up ....crap brakes.... several hours /attempts to bleed brakes, I thought Id fd up the rebuild of calipers and bought some blue spots, then on closer examination found one of the new (to me)discs flexed when i put the brake on, haul off the old good disc (always hoard spare bits!) all 18 bolts off no probs none shearing! miricals do happen! wwooooo hooooo a brake that feels as though it might actually stop in less time than a supertanker!
Took off the Ducati 748 fairing and headlight unit and put on a pair of twin chromies along with a pair of mx style bars and some risers, bars rise about 80mm and the riser about the same
not had it out on the road yet in this guise but I think it will suit me a lot better as i prefer the more upright position,
Anyway Insurance, who does a good deal and how much should i be paying? bike garaged, 38 yrs old, home owner, no ncb, held licence for about 10 yrs,gsoh mostly wear blue boxer shorts,
Answers on a postcard to....
might get some photos of bike up if i can be arsed/massive response to my post and i feel obliged

Welcome!

Can't help you out with insurance, wrong continent, but you WILL need to post pics.

Sounds like an interesting build.

It was VERY interesting whilst trying to get the brakes to work! very interesting indeed at a a few junctions

Suppose ill have to get my camera out then!

Welcome aboard.
Go speak to Carol Nash or Devitt and they will get you quotes. AA also doing good deals. MCNCompare is a bit rubbish.
On a bike value of circa £1,000? you should be paying probably £100 TPFT or £150 FC with no NCB...maybe.

I used confused.com and got a quote for around £80, tpf&t. That's for a 35 year old woman with 2 years ncb, the bike valued (by me) at £1400, garaged, no alarm/immobiliser but datatagged (for what it's worth).

Being old is useful at times

ebike for modded bikes and multibike policies - hard to beat on price (no experience of claiming through them)

Hi , thanks for the replies I looked online and found Dial Direct on some comparison site £125fc and 75tpft woo hoo mucho cheap ins policy is limited to 3000 miles but that should be fine in all reality.
